Collector trade-off study for BDM PRDA-35 application
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5356394
An analysis was made by BDM to compare the performance of the T-600 and T-700 linear parabolic collectors from Solar Kinetics Inc. This study was undertaken as an attempt to prevent an increase in the cost of the BDM PRDA-35 contract in the face of a substantial increase in the cost of photovoltaic cells. Electrical and thermal properties were examined using the Photovoltaic Transient Analysis Program (PVTAP) and results were corelated with existing experimental data. This study indicated that the T-700 collector would yield a slightly more cost-effective system than would the T-600 collector.
